ryan and romney -- ryan and romney's plan is all about the same old thing. what did romney say the first thing he would do as president? he would get rid of the new regulations on wall street and the bank. he would let wall street go back to being a casino, my words, not his, and let the bank s write their rules, and the ryan proposal, to continue and expand massive tax cuts. more than $2 billion in tax cuts for people making $1 million and beyond. we have seen that movie before. we know how it ends. the last time -- >> you are listening to vice president joe biden as he addressed a gathering in st. augustine, florida. one of those pushing for obama is the man who chaired the democratic national convention, los angeles mayor antonio villaraigosa. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> uncertain whether you could hear me. let me ask you first, you're in iowa today for the jackson day dinner. the president spent a lot of time there. the latest polls show the president is still leading in iowa, but ever so slightly. so what more can the presid

romney can't win this argument and neither can paul ryan. ryan's idea was to put grandma in a home and sell the family home to buy a radio shack. it's not something that seniors will like. so the republicans need to get back to talking about what obama hasn't done, because if they are comparing ideas, they lose that battle. >> you know, romney did come out with that white board yesterday and said, just take a look at it. it's here in black and white. my plan will keep medicare solvent. obama is going to cut $716 billion from medicare. i mean, you know, that's compelling, isn't it? >> no, because white boards don't work very well. we learned that from ross perot. >> the obama campaign came out with their own white board. >> right. >> remember that. >> well, it's still not a good idea. it's generally a good idea to speak in terms of what are the policies that we've already had. arguing about the numbers and minuta, nobody ever believes that. you have two years of people criticizing the ryan budget as something that would hurt medicare. >> let
